It has been said... truly that the Church exists for those outside of itself. The Church must never be in any sense a little huddle of pious people, shutting their doors against the world, lost in prayer and praise, connoisseurs of preaching and liturgy, busy mutually congratulating themselves on the excellence of their Christian experience.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7908</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm not sure if other arrangements to buy zinc have already been made at this point.

The wider that strip of land and the more sensitive the player is to the changing composition of the ground under his feet as he pursues the ball, the more effective the warning. Romanticizing or lionizing as "individualistic" those people who disregard social cues and inducements increases the danger of head-on collisions with inherent social limits. Decrying various forms of social disapproval is in effect narrowing the warning strip.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What the public does is not to express its opinions but to align itself for or against a proposal.

If that theory is accepted, we must abandon the notion that democratic government can be the direct expression of the will of the people. We must abandon the notion that the people govern. Instead we must adopt the theory that, by their occasional mobilizations as a majority, people support or oppose the individuals who actually govern. We must say that the popular will does not direct continuously but that it intervenes occasionally.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's a great leader.

The nominal Christian pays homage to something about Jesus, rather than worshipping the man himself. For this reason, nominal Christians will extol the moral teachings of Jesus, the faith of Jesus, the personality of Jesus, the compassion of Jesus, the world view of Jesus, the self-understanding of Jesus, etc. None of these worships Jesus as the Christ, but only something about him, something peripheral to the actual flesh-and-blood man. This is why when the almighty God came into the world in Jesus, he came as the lowest of the low, as weakness itself, as a complete and utter nothing, in order that men would be forced into the crucial decision about him alone and would not be able to worship anything about him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6575</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No river can return to its source, yet all rivers must have a beginning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3971]]></link><description><![CDATA[No river can return to its source, yet all rivers must have a beginning.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3971</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I prefer silent prudence to loquacious folly. [Lat., Malo indisertam prudentiam, quam loquacem stultitiam.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51964]]></link><description><![CDATA[I prefer silent prudence to loquacious folly. [Lat., Malo indisertam prudentiam, quam loquacem stultitiam.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60111]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60111</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sinews of business (or state).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only those who try to live near God and have formed the habit of faithfulness to Him in the small ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only those who try to live near God and have formed the habit of faithfulness to Him in the small things of our daily life, can hope in times of need for that special light which shows us our path.
